World Cup News

Pete’s back with a sack full of clips highlighting some of the most significant Ramble moments from the second half of 2024. Including, Big Mama UEFA, Noni Madueke’s infamous trip to Wolverhampton, Haystacks Peace’s pesky prattling parrot and David Coote’s afterparty tape. We also said goodbye to the great man, Sven-Göran Eriksson. Find us on Bluesky, X, Instagram, TikTok and YouTube, and email us here: [email protected].

What a time to be alive, it’s the Carabao Cup second round! Like all of last night’s fixtures, Marcus, Jim and Luke start today’s show by continuing to pay tribute to the great Sven-Göran Eriksson. Elsewhere, Luke and Jim explain why Manuel Ugarte could be a great signing, not just for Man United but also the Ramble. Plus, a local council leader in Wolverhampton has responded to Noni Madueke and we learn that Andros Townsend currently is being held hostage in Turkey. At least the weather is nice, we suppose.

At last! Marcus, Luke, Jim and Andy put the reign of the balding smoothie himself under the unforgiving Ramble microscope. Well, one of us is perhaps a little less critical than the rest. A Sven-egg-in-a-nest haircut is the prize for guessing who that is… They discuss the reception of England’s first foreign manager, Sven’s unprecedented charm offensive to win the public’s hearts, and what was really England’s undoing in an era that promised so much. There’s Sven fleeing a property with some clothes missing as well, of course. Tweet us @FootballRamble and email us here: [email protected].

Marcus, Jim and Pete pack their bags for a globetrotting episode of The Preview Show, sponsored by Betway! We've got Fizzer in Miami, McVish at a lively Ibrox and Sven-Göran Eriksson mixing it in North Korea. Yes, you read that correctly. We also get stuck into some cracking scenes at Arsenal and look ahead to both the Carabao Cup final and another edition of The Scrap™️. Join us!

Merry Christmas one and all! You might remember our little chat with a certain Sven-Göran Eriksson back in September. Well, that was far from all. For this very special Ramble Meets…, Marcus, Luke and Jim chat with the former England manager and a true Ramble legend about all sorts: from Sven’s somewhat hapless playing career, to the Ivory Coast national team’s song about him, to what exactly happened in that 2002 World Cup quarter-final against Brazil. And, of course, we quiz him about his true retirement plans. So on this fine Christmas morning, here’s a little gift from us to you. You’re going to love this one.
